In this episode of The Fire Within, I dove into a topic that has captivated me for years: the threads of spirituality and belief systems that connect cultures across time and space. From Native American traditions echoing the Christian narrative to the scientific validation of ancient flood myths, we explored how these stories shape our understanding of truth, morality, and the human condition.
What struck me most was the profound resonance between ancient wisdom and modern science. The ripples of great floods etched into our landscapes serve as tangible evidence of these ancient accounts, challenging the notion of "myth." We ventured into dualities like good vs. evil and self vs. community, delving into how these universal struggles inform our pursuit of higher truths.
I also opened up about personal experiences, how lessons in endurance, like my son Carter's journey in football, have taught me to find meaning even in life's frustrations. These stories aren't just relics of the past; they’re living, breathing lessons that guide us toward unity, purpose, and a deeper connection to each other and the divine.
